1. 1. Design of a Bistable Origami Stent with Pneumatic Actuation

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

   Author : Michelle von Rosen; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : What if stents could be easier removed when complications arise or removed once theirjob has been done? No matter how perfect a stent design becomes, the fundamental issueis that a foreign object in the body under extended periods eventually will cause devicedegradation and complications. So instead of making a long-term solution of a perfectstent, the focus in this paper is redirected from expensive materials to a simple design,with simple materials. READ MORE
